Coal Vein Of Oappagh

Cappagh is parish chiefly in the
barony of Strabane. Several indications
of coal have have been met with in vari-
GUS parts of the parish, and there is a
general belief that rich coal vein ex-
lists in the locality, but TO effort has ever
been made to develop this mineral
wealth. The principal indications have
been noticed about the mountain OF
Mullaghcairn or Cairntogher, which is
the highest eminence in the County.

Moonlighters a Hundred Years Ago.

MO0nlgnters hundred 1ears ago.
A century ago the Kerry mountaineers
adopted much the same means Of curb
ing the exactions OF rack-renting land
lords as are in vogue at that irrepressi-
BILE County to-day, and the Government
retaliated on the people struggling for
existence in the same fashion as they re-
taliate now-by the dungeon and the
halter. In the Strabane Journal of
April II, 1856, letter from Kerry
landlord seeking the sympathy of the
Ulster Orangemen appears. It is dated
Moyvan, March IS, 1856, and says
eve are so pestered with Whiteboys in
this County that we can attend to moth
ing else; not a night passes without a
meeting of several hundreds. The
Duagh boys, though the last to take up
arms. have this week made formidable
appearance, under the command of Cap
tain Smart, Captain speedwell, Of Lis
towel; Fearnaught. of Lifetia; Washing
ton, of this place; Steel and Slasher, of
Tarbert; and the entire subordinate to
General Critchall, of Ballylongford,
who make, I assure you. our gentlemen
of fortune very serious. Be assured
they have reason, for all law ceases but
what the Whiteboys like; not a process
to be served; not COW to be drove; not
a man to be removed from his farm this
season on pain of hanging; gallows is
erected in the square of Listowel, an
other at Ballylongford, and one at the
river at Movvan."

trict. So it would seem that the
school term is left in the discretion
Of the County Board of Examiners,
by the Statute law of the State.
They have discretion to make the
term long and reduce the pay per
month of teachers, or to shorten the
term and increase the pay per month.
As the law stands we do not think
the Superintendent Of Education has
violated it, and we think it wrong to
charge him with violating the law.
We believe Mr.. Rice is taking great
interest in the schools and doing
what the law provides he shall do in
section 9S7 of the General Statutes,
viz visiting the different counties in
the State, making public addresses,
and endeavoring to infuse new life
in thepublic schools.
Whether it is better to lengthen
the school term and reduce the pay
per month from the public and de-
pend on the patrons to supplement
it, or whether it is better to shorten
the term and increase the pay per
month, we will not discuss in this
connection.

COLUMBIA, May 3.-The directors
of the Columbia. Newoerrv and
Laurens Railroad held their regular
monthly meeting tonight. The scs.
sion was not as prolonged as usual
and only routine business was trans
acted. Reports were received, and
there was general discussion of the
affairs OF the company. In two week S
time the line. will have been graded
from Broad River, opposite Columbia,
to Little Mountain, Lexington
County, q distance OF nineteen miles.
This looks like progress, and the
directors are determined to push the
grading westward without cessation.
One Of the Columbia directors said
to the News and Courier representa-
tive that the work Of obtaining sigma
lures to the petition for an election
in this township was going on steadI-
ly. 1t was thought the other day
that the required number had been
obtained, but upon revision Of the
lists it was found that other sigma
lures were needed. The director had
no doubt that the election woul' be
called and the subscription voted.
When this is done the last obstacle
to the success Of the project will have
been removed.

Earthquake in the Southwest.

Ell PAso, TEX, May 3.-A shock
of earthquake was plainly felt at
sos p. m. to day. the vibrations last
ing about two minutes. 1t was per-
ceptible in every portion Of the city,
and the shock SO alarmed citizens
that only invalids and helpless p1o-
pie were left within doors. For pro-
baby two minutes preceding the
shock many persons recognized a
distinct and offensive smell Of sui
phur. While the vibrations lasted
many articles hanging on>thc walls
oscillated and some fell to the floor,
while plast ring fell from the fronts
and ceilings of many dwellings and
business houses. At the courthouse
the evidences Of the shock were quite
discernible. Clocks we're stopped,
buildings were cracked and persons
came to a standstill in the streets.
The first impression was of a vertl-
cal oscillation. This lasted only a
few seconds. Then q moments awful
calm was followed by q very pro-
nounced horizontal, wave-like motion.
No serious damage has resulted in
this neighborhood.

ELECT JUDGES FOR LIFE.

A decided and practical reform in
the administration Of justice would
be secured in the election of Judges
for life or good behavior If the law
yers have power in the Legislature to
defeat reform of the criminal code,
as Solicitor Orr charges, then they
have power enough to make candi-
date for reelection to the judgeship
feel his dependence on their favors
and good wishes-and this ought not
to be so. Elect the Judges Tor life,
and they will be more independent
and more fearless in discharging their
duties. -Neaeberry Observer.
We heartily agree with our local
cotemporary in this matter of electing
judges, and advocated this reform
several years ago. Our judges are
human, and possessed OF all the
weaknesses incident to ordinary NOR
tails. They depend upon the popular
favor for their tenure of Office, and
they desire to retain their positions.
They should be placed above the
suspicion of courting the popular
favor in order to retain their posi-
tion. When lawyer is elevated to
the bench he gives up his practice,
and if he should be dropped he will
again have to 60 to work to build up
his practice. When he is put on the
bench he should be made feel that
his position there was permanent SO
long as he discharged the duties of
his Office faithfully and well.
It should not be necessary for him
